Thanks for the prompt support Tim!

Here's where I'm at...

Git says I'm up to date:

~ # cd /src/axiom/
/src/axiom # git pull
Already up-to-date.

I *think* I'm pulling from the right repo:

/src/axiom # git remote show origin
* remote origin
  URL: git://github.com/daly/axiom.git
  Remote branch merged with 'git pull' while on branch master
    master
  Tracked remote branch
    master

Finally, here's the git log again:

/src/axiom # git log | head

However, I ran into what looks like the same error (sorry, I don't have 
it handy). So, what I'll do is try to rebuild from a fresh checkout 
(I'll just clone the local repo) and see how that goes.

Should I have done a "make clean" or anything like that before 
continuing the build?

Side comment/feedback. This build is running on a single-core system so 
'make parallel' reaaaaally causes the system to slow down. :-) Perhaps 
eventually the build process can consider how many cores are available 
and parallelize accordingly. I.e. 4-cores, four "threads". No biggie, 
just mentioning the idea.
